This is further explained below.

How many balloons of each color did Marty inflate?

Generally, the equation for the statement is mathematically given as

w= r+225

w - 225 = r

Therefore

w - 116 = b

Where

r + w + b = 1147

(w - 225 )+w +( w - 116)=1147

3w = 1147 + 341

w = 496

In conclusion, For Red

w - 225 = r

496 - 225 = r

r=271

Marty inflate red 271 ballons

For  blue

w - 116 = b

496  - 116 =380

b=380

Marty inflate red 380 ballons
